The Winnipeg Jets are set to visit Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan for a cross-conference clash against the Detroit Red Wings. The Winnipeg Jets come into this matchup with a 19-10-2 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent home game against the Detroit Red Wings, 5-1. Blake Wheeler and Andrew Copp had productive games for the Winnipeg Jets as they recorded 1 goal and 1 assist. The other goals for Winnipeg were contributed to Patrick Laine, Adam Lowry, and Mark Scheifele. The Winnipeg Jets dominated the Detroit Red Wings in the shot department, 30-17.

The Winnipeg Jets were good at keeping the Detroit Red Wings off the scoreboard as they held them to 1 goal on 17 shots. The Jets starting goaltender Laurent Brossoit had a good game in the crease as he recorded 15 saves which pushed his season save percentage to .892 and GAA to 3.22. The Winnipeg Jets edged out the Detroit Red Wings in the faceoff circle, 31-22.

The Detroit Red Wings come into this matchup with a 7-22-3 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent road game against the Winnipeg Jets, 5-1. Christoffer Ehn was responsible for the lone goal of the game for the Detroit Red Wings while Filip Zadina recorded an assist. The Detroit Red Wings were dominated by the Winnipeg Jets in the shot department, 30-17.

The Detroit Red Wings struggled at keeping the Winnipeg Jets off the scoreboard as they allowed them to score 5 goals on 30 shots. The Red Wings starting goaltender Eric Comrie had a bad game in the crease as he recorded 25 saves which pushed his season save percentage to .853 and GAA to 4.40. The Detroit Red Wings were edged out by the Winnipeg Jets in the faceoff circle, 31-22.

The Winnipeg Jets have dominated the Detroit Red Wings as of recent as they have won 4 consecutive meetings, and they most recently beat the Red Wings on December 10th. The Winnipeg Jets are playing well as of recent as they are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games, but the Detroit Red Wings have not had as much success as they have lost 12 consecutive games. The Jets have a handful of guys who can produce on any given night as Mark Scheifele and Patrick Laine have combined for 59 points, but the main point of focus is their goaltending. The Jets starting goaltender Connor Hellebuyck has been a main reason for their success this season as he is 15-7-2 with a GAA of 2.24, and with him in the crease, I don’t expect the worst team in the NHL to find success. Final Score Prediction, Winnipeg Jets win 5-2.
